Expert Care
Menopause clinics at our hub offer tailored support and advice for women experiencing menopause symptoms. Our specialists guide patients with personalised care plans to enhance their quality of life.

The Menopause clinic is able to see complex cases such as women with a history of breast cancer, women with complex medical problems or bleeding problems on HRT.
Pelvic and Abdominal Ultrasound scans
Sonography services are currently suspended due to lack of NHS funding.
Scans were typically requested by your GP or clinical practice team if there is a clinical indication for a scan. We provide ultrasound scans to help diagnose women's health, ensuring thorough examinations and prompt reporting, allowing timely interventions and peace of mind for patients.
Pessary Fitting
Vaginal pessaries
Vaginal pessary Fittings can be undertaken after referral from your GP or one of the hub clinicians. They are used to help manage symptoms of prolapse and are fitted after assessment and by trained clinicians
